I"M Sorry But How Can Someone Be That Stupid?

[sassysue]

Some people just blow my mind! Here in Michigan if you are on the food program you must offer it to ALL children in care, including infants. (age discrimination) Anyway, the only way around it is to offer some off the wall brand of formula and hope that they will choose to bring their own, by the way-that never happens. So I told one of my new parents that and she was like "Oh that's great, it will save me time and money!" So fast forward about a week and she comes in and says"I'm almost out of formula at home,I just thought I'd let you know"

I said "Yes that's fine,remember you don't need to bring any after the can I have here runs out"
She respond "Yes, I know, that's why I'm telling you so you can send some home before he runs out" Are people freaking nuts?
She thought that meant I would be supplying his formula ALL the time. I tried to explain that yes I supply the food for your baby when he's here,just like I supply meals to the older kids but No I'm not feeding your child all meals. I tend not to hold back(dumb people are my biggest pet peeve)

I said, would you like me to buy food for your whole family too? I seriously think it took her five minutes to actually comprehend what I was trying to tell her-S-T-U-P-I-D!!!

::shaking head:: that's ridiculous. Not all that suprising however. I've come to the conclusion that a lot of people struggle with comprehension and critical thinking.

Wasn't there someone on here awhile ago that had a parent who thought that because the provider supplied snacks at daycare, they'd be sending snacks to preschool with the child too (for the whole class) and brought the provider the approved snack list?

I had 4 infants all at the same time one time. And I am a nice provider and bought them all their own formula even though I didnt have to. Well one mom kept switching, so I told her I would switch the boy back when his formula here ran out, and she said just give it to me, I will use it up for you. WHAT?!

These parents are probably on WIC too and get too much formula for their kids as it is!

When I had infants on formula, I asked them what kind they use. Then I said "oh, ok". I then decided that was NOT the brand I am using. the end!

I once had a lady mark Breastmilk, on the first day of care she brought no milk. She thought I was a wet nurse!

That is because they didn't have a play based child care experience with good food, deep restorative sleep, and plenty of soical experiences with their peers that helped hone those critical thinking and comprehension skills.

They probably only watched TV all day and had battery operated toys that did the thinking and processing for them.

This made my day

My 8 year old is looking at me like I'm crazy for laughing out loud at reading this. Reading this was a great way to end the work day. Is it bad to laugh out how dumb some people are? If so...oh well!
